feeler: possibly parting out 86' 16v

[optimus234 at hotmail.com (Kevin S)]

I totally understand where you coming from. My dad brings up the same point 
when he sees how much money im spending on my with the Syncro and 1.8t. I 
look at it as I enjoy what im doing and don't mind spending the money. Also 
I have had those frustrating days where I hate spending more money on my 
car, but when I get it back on the road and driving I never regret spending 
that money thats how much I enjoy it.

I guess all im trying to say is. If you have a passion and really enjoy what 
you get out of your car then stick with it.

I wish you luck.

Kevin
